Starting point is 00:02:43 Of your nieces and nephews. All right, before this buck and bronco gets away on us, lads, let's address the elephant in the room. We've just watched Sex and the City 2. You're mixing metaphors all over the place here. They're all animals and they're all angry. We've watched Sex and the City 2, Guy and I, for the 16th time. Joseph, I believe, for the one and a half.
Starting point is 00:03:03 One and a half. Well, I half watched it with my ears. Listen to it. There's a term for that. Listen to it. Actually, you guys... Hold on.
Starting point is 00:03:13 How do you watch something with your ears? What's that called? You know how we normally do things like other people do things? Let's do things the opposite to that.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Okay. Plug your podcast first and then we'll talk about the movie okay go well we do a podcast called cheap tuesday where we watch a movie each week and talk about the way that you guys do a different movie though it's and we we go the push we've really pussied out yeah and come with a different and. And go to the movies and spend a lot of money. And that's why you guys are great and little bitches but
Starting point is 00:03:49 still great. Thank you. And it's an honor to be here. This week on our hour we went to see Entourage which I noticed so many
Starting point is 00:03:58 similarities between that and this movie that we've just watched now. Should we just rip in? Yeah. Should we just rip
Starting point is 00:04:03 in? Nick are you ready to compare Entourage to Sex and City 2? Should we really date stamp this thing and date it horribly by just talking about a movie that's just come out? If they find this one in a time capsule in space, they'll know exactly when we were talking about it. They'll be like, bam! Gotcha, motherfucker!
Starting point is 00:04:20 It's when the Entourage movie came out. There are a lot of similarities. It's when the Entourage movie came out. There are a lot of similarities. Definitely. Entourage stars four hateful men. Yeah. And this movie stars four hateful women.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Do you hate all the guys in Entourage? I remember Entourage being fun, though, as the TV says. Yeah, but the worst kind of fun. Bad fun. Bad fun. What's bad fun? No, no. I would say Entourage is
Starting point is 00:04:46 objectively more fun oh more fun than Sex and the City but surely that's just because you're a bloke mate it's all the girlfriends
Starting point is 00:04:54 and wives I'm talking about I didn't watch the TV series of Sex and the City no or of Entourage you watched Entourage
Starting point is 00:05:01 I watched Entourage did you enjoy it yeah but then I enjoyed it in that hindsight of being like, oh God, I wish I didn't watch that. But hold on, let's time travel. Put yourselves back into the place of, well, just you actually, because I'm only talking to Nick right now.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Of the moment, did you enjoy Entourage as it was unfolding? I enjoyed it in, like, it was a time when I was sort of coming to know myself a bit better. And I enjoyed it as a coming was a time when I was sort of coming to know myself a bit better and I love sex with everyone man guy were watching stand by me and you were watching entourage and it shaped the human beings we are a lot of people that a point where I realized Entourage was terrible. A lot of people in our generation... It was a really good realization for me.
Starting point is 00:05:49 You know, we started watching Entourage around the same time we started buying shirts with buttons. I really thought you were going to say masturbating there
Starting point is 00:05:57 because I saw your mouth making an M sound. I've been buying shirts with buttons, you know? Buying shirts with buttons. Seminal stage in your life. Yeah. You're like,
Starting point is 00:06:04 hey, I got a... I got a shirt with buttons. Yeah. in your life Yeah You're like hey I got a I got a shirt with buttons Yeah Watch out What would that mean What's happening when you're Putting on your shirt with buttons You're on the prow
Starting point is 00:06:10 You're into town Yeah You're looking for trouble Is what you're doing Isn't it Isn't it ironic You dress up to get down Yeah isn't that
Starting point is 00:06:18 Has that ever struck you As just being Isn't life just Just a topsy turvy place Oh it's a wonderful thing Wonderful thing. Your ups are down, your downs are ups. But let's not talk about Entourage too much,
Starting point is 00:06:28 because the movie we just saw wasn't Entourage. Please, please just let it stop. So, like, I mean, first of all, first impressions. Nick, I'm going to start with you, even though you've just been talking. I would say it is, yeah, the length. It is ponderously, unavoidably. It is one of the longest things I've ever sat through.
Starting point is 00:06:50 And it's not just long in length. Yes. Although it is that. Although it is that. Which is the main way of measuring length. However. I didn't realize there are other ways to measure. But like every scene ends like every shot someone will say their line
Starting point is 00:07:08 and then the camera will linger on them too long like it's the first uh it like it's this is the block edit that the editor has gone all right this is how the film stacks up yeah and now i wait for the director to come in and we'll tighten it up and then he never came never showed up you could drive a truck through the lines right like in between them saying yeah there's some scenes some pranks there's bloody driven a truck right right square through two actors oh yeah we've told all of our listeners not to watch the movie so they don't know this but we've there's a lot of trucks in the movie where they drive them in between like miranda and carrie there's a line yeah and then a movie where they drive them in between Miranda and Carrie.
Starting point is 00:07:47 There's a line, and then a truck, and then another line. A very literal metaphor. It's crazy. They'll gracefully step aside, and a truck will come through. It's amazing that they get killed. I thought it was some close calls. Some of the trucks- Well, you didn't see, Joseph, that one scene where a guy gets hit. And that's how good the stunties are.
Starting point is 00:07:59 They make it look like it's a close call, but it's never really a close call. It's a safe set. I don't know if you do this every time in the podcast, but I wouldn't feel comfortable going on without just giving a shout out to the family of the Stunny Who the Stunty Who
Starting point is 00:08:10 we do we do do that every podcast I don't listen to every episode sorry so you don't we pour out some of our drinks I believe it was when
Starting point is 00:08:17 just gobble up that mic gobble it up I believe it was when Samantha said Lawrence of Mylabia and then the truck comes through and hits that extra yeah they use the Wilhelm scream I believe it was when Samantha said Lawrence of Mylabia, and then the truck comes through and hits that extra. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:27 They used the Wilhelm scream, I believe. That's correct, all tie. I'm bad at doing the impression, but yeah, you get it. Yeah, yeah. You sounded like a farm animal. Wow. It was odd in the movie how they played it for laughs, though, because a real man died,
Starting point is 00:08:44 and then they kind of cut to an individual shot of each woman. They do a lot of shit like that, though, Joseph. You may have noticed they use a sitar to very racist and comical effect in the movie as well. They provide a lot of musical cues. You were quick to pick up on this. Okay, are we allowed to just talk about whatever? Of course, mate. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Under no circumstance shall we talk about whatever. I don't know if you noticed how much whiskey I've had, bro, but I'm pretty sure there's no rules to this one, mate. Musical cue observation number one. Hit me. Whenever Carrie walks, it's like she is magical, for with each step comes a twinkle, you know, that suggests she has, I'm going to say, fairy godmother powers.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Like a shimmering musical twinkle. Yeah. What is that called? What is that, like a chimes? Are they chimes? Yeah, a bit of chimes, a bit of ding-dong. Ding-dong chimes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:37 You're supposed to be the music man. The ding-dong is a separate instrument from chimes. Yeah, yeah. What's the ding-dong sound like, Guy, real quick? It sounds similar to chimes. Give me your ding dong real quick. Actually, ding dong is on a metapair. I don't know if you...
Starting point is 00:09:51 It's like a crow. You know how a crow crows? Yep. Ding dong, ding dongs. When I say the word ding dong, that is the sound of ding dong. Oh, I'm sorry, you're doing it already? Yes. Oh, I beg your pardon, I was missing it. It's just so good. You just weave it in. Anyway, I believe she has mystical abilities, which are not explicitly shown in the film.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Now, Joe, let me throw this at you as a little bit of a theory. Okay. Do you think those magical abilities exist before or solely after she puts the hat on at the gay wedding? Oh, before. They're there. So it permeates the entire film. She was born with it. You know, you don't,
Starting point is 00:10:30 it's not magical shoes. It's not like Mike. You know like Mike? Lil Bow Wow has magic shoes that makes him good at basketball. It's not like that. She has a magic, I think she's born like.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Of all of the examples you could have picked, I'm glad you went with Like Mike Thank you It's a way to not alienate Any person listening To the podcast Because everyone's seen Like Mike
Starting point is 00:10:51 Is what I'm trying to say It's a very popular movie Everyone saw it I think it's pretty clear That when she puts on that Headdress It's called She refers to it as a hat
Starting point is 00:11:03 But Well it's not a It's not really I mean a hat is To cover your Head Well refers to it as a hat. Well, it's not a hat. I mean, a hat is to cover your head. Well, a hat looks like a hat. It'd be closer to a visor than a hat. But it's not a visor either because it doesn't cover your eyes.
Starting point is 00:11:15 It's like a belt for your head. It's a crown, realistically. Oh, it's a crown. When she puts on the crown... The crown's like a whole belt. Say that again, What's that? No, it's the crown. There's clearly some sort of foreshadowing
Starting point is 00:11:28 happening there. And I kind of feel like it's some sort of curse that maybe a witch or an evil gypsy has put maybe in a gemstone in the crown. Sure.
Starting point is 00:11:41 It's slowly working its way into her body causing her to lose Control over Where she puts Her passport Yes Yes I'm glad you've struck
Starting point is 00:11:51 Into that Um Which is of course The driving The driving plot of the movie Well of that act It's the one big It's the one time
Starting point is 00:11:59 Something's Gone Goes wrong I'm sorry A plot is when you Someone does something Once And then at the end of the movie They come back to the same Spot and Just solve that problem Something's gone Goes wrong I'm sorry A plot is when you Someone does something Once And then at the end of the movie
Starting point is 00:12:06 They come back to the same spot And just solve that problem That's what a plot is A plot is when a series Of seemingly Unconnected Events Happen in a row
Starting point is 00:12:16 In a few different locations Here's what I'm gonna do Right Here's what I'm gonna do If I may I'm gonna throw it over to you two Okay To Nick Sampson and to Joseph Moore
Starting point is 00:12:27 to explain to me what the plot of Sex and the City 2 is and you've got limited time to do it I'm pulling off my wristwatch so I can take care of this you've got a maximum of 3 minutes and I want you to describe the movie you've just seen because it's an exercise in recall and in brevity. Of taking something that took over two and a half hours to watch, I want you to boil it down to three minutes.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Are you ready? If you're not familiar with the word brevity, it is to be succinct, you could say. This podcast is brevity in action. I would just like to interject. You have something to say on the matter? No, no, but we will be brief. Okay, yes.
Starting point is 00:13:13 We'll be brief. Okay. I'll kick us off. In the same way that we have not taken much time to define brevity, we demand the same of you. Gentlemen, your time starts now We hear a familiar beat What's that?
Starting point is 00:13:28 Pianos mixed in with drums Oh, it must be Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind The song plays as the Warner Brothers and HBO logos play on screen But are they normal logos? No, they sparkle Sparkle with diamonds Why? Because we are not in our world we are in the
Starting point is 00:13:47 world of new york where the girls of sex in the city to live all right nick you keep keep it going hey it's carrie what's up it's me right now now in 2011 but also way back in the 80s i was a lot different but still the same hey we're all Anyway, my friend who presumably is in the TV series is getting married. Hey. Oh, hello. I'm a man standing on a desert. Wait a minute. I have to go to a gay wedding quickly.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Okay, you quickly go. Can I just put your phone down for a second? Yes, yes. I'm going to go to this wedding and comment over and over and over how gay this wedding is. Hold on, hold on. Shoot, shoot, shoot. Let's talk about the movie. Real brevity.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Hold on. I'm at the wedding. Okay. Gay, gay, gay. This is a very gay wedding. This is a very gay wedding. Hello. Welcome to the wedding.
Starting point is 00:14:35 I'm a stereotype. This is a very gay wedding. I feel like I've seen how gay the wedding is. Oh. I'm going to leave now. Okay. Right back. Hello.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Oh, you're still there. How was the wedding? Okay. So what are you up to? Oh, I'm standing in the desert and I'm shooting a poster for a movie that we all. Oh, shooting a poster for a movie. That sounds like a normal thing to have to do. We don't have green screen, you see, in our studio.
Starting point is 00:15:02 I don't even know what that is, so I don't know how you bring that up. Hey, I digress. You digress. Someone digress. Well, we're all digressing. My friends are going crazy. Hey, careful with your passport. Should I come to Abu Dhabi?
Starting point is 00:15:17 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm a step ahead. You quickly come to Abu Dhabi, but when you're here, be careful about your passport. I feel like you've done too much talking. You're barely in this movie. Hey'll quickly come to Abu Dhabi, but when you're here, be careful about your passport. I feel like you've done a lot of stalking. You're barely in this movie.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Hey, we're in Abu Dhabi. Oh, this plane was magnificent. Oh, look at all this food. Look at all these penises. That's my passport. You dropped it. No, actually, I never mentioned that. Oh, there's your passport. I'm worried about my nanny's breasts.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Hey, they sure are big. Let's go. Camel toe. Hey, we should leave now. Hey, I'm a nice gentleman walking down the street. You want a smooch?
Starting point is 00:16:03 Okay, but then I'm going to tell my husband about it. He's going to be sad in a big building. Oh, hey, it's Kerry's husband here. What do you got? You got smooching? Any old man? Wow, you weren't doing it. You were too busy watching your films.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Black and white and otherwise. You know I love black and white movies. And time. Well done, Jim. Was that a three or four? I don't know. I'm not wearing my and white and otherwise you know I love black and white movies and time well done was that a three or four I don't know I'm not wearing my digital watch I gotta say
Starting point is 00:16:30 because virtually no one who's listening to this has seen Sex and the City 2 what you just listened it's just devolved into a series of buzzwords
Starting point is 00:16:39 that you remembered from like I don't know I thought they did a good job I feel kind of broken after this movie. I feel like they kind of... If you listen back to that... It's a good summary of the film.
Starting point is 00:16:50 That was like one in the morning, right? Yeah, I know it's one in the morning. That was. It is. I'm very tired. I just said that one. It's way after one in the morning. It's like closer to two.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Okay. It's 20 to two a.m. It's not important what the hour is. Did we miss anything? No, absolutely not. I mean, the one thing that you missed was that you ran out of time to quickly resolve the one issue in the film, which is that, as you pointed out,
Starting point is 00:17:16 Carrie smooches a guy she sees in the souk, which is an Abu Dhabi marketplace where you buy spices and leave your passport and buy shoes at. And then it's fine. Yeah. They sort it out. They go back there. She gets a diamond ring
Starting point is 00:17:28 out of it for Christ's sake. It's totally fine. I've had stuff gone missing in a marketplace. What'd you have missing? An ice cream salesman stole my wallet
Starting point is 00:17:36 in Kuala Lumpur. Really? Mm-hmm. Well, fucking hell. Oh, you know what? But that's life, you know? And I went back
Starting point is 00:17:44 and it was gone. Here's some notes that I took. That's a real story. Make that into a movie, eh, that? No, you know what? But that's life, you know? And I went back and it was gone. Here's some notes that I took. That's a real story. Make that into a movie, eh, guys? Where's that feature film? Well, it'd probably be a more engaging film than Sex and the City 2. What else did you get up from Kuala Lumpur? I went to the swimming pool.
Starting point is 00:17:55 That sounds like a pretty encouraging... Hold on, we've got a sequel in the works. Yeah, don't waste it all on one movie. No, the first one is you losing your wallet at the second one. It's a saga. Here are the notes. A real-time movie of you going to the swimming pool and you losing your wallet it's a saga here are the notes a real time movie of you going to the swimming pool
Starting point is 00:18:07 and then losing your wallet at the market real time I paid $25,000 you're an idiot you're a fool guy that's why
Starting point is 00:18:17 people are like you never got an owner house alright here are the notes that I've taken through the course of the film number one why has no one called Big JJ?
Starting point is 00:18:26 He announces his name at the wedding as John James. John James Preston. What about Big J? Big J's even better than JJ. Nah, then you're wasting a whole J. That's crazy talk.
Starting point is 00:18:42 If you've got two J's consecutively as an option That is pretty much The angle you should be pursuing In your name I always thought as a child JJ was one of the coolest It really is
Starting point is 00:18:54 Nicknames you could get Those are two Eight point consonants One two What are you talking about Eight point consonants Scrabble Oh right

Starting point is 00:19:45 IMDB won't tell you about the movie Guy and I will Because we've seen it 16 times now Did you know That in one scene In the film In Abu Dhabi In the hotel
Starting point is 00:19:56 They swapped out Tilda Swinton For Cynthia Dixon Or Nixon Can't remember the name of the actress I feel like you really got caught up on this moment Well She kind of looked like Tilda Swinton No no no Well this is or Nixon can't remember the name of the actress I feel like she's really got caught up on this moment well she kind of looks like
Starting point is 00:20:07 Tilda Swinton no no no well this is but she kind of looks like her for the whole movie I don't know why this seems especially when she's not wearing makeup
Starting point is 00:20:13 well it's not even anything to do with especially the fact of the matter is it was a it was a failed viral marketing attempt by Michael Patrick King and SJP
Starting point is 00:20:22 who was getting a producer on the movie is they got Tilda Swinton for a cameo, and they said, Tilda, we want to do something different with it. We want it to be organic. We want it to be viral. We're going to put you in the movie
Starting point is 00:20:35 as one of the characters. People say viral in 2011. Yes. Absolutely. Constantly. That's how we know we're really saying it in 2010. That's when it started. Anyway, Tilda, you know what she's like.
Starting point is 00:20:48 She's really into virality, really into online currency, really into monetizing content. She said yes, they did it. No one knows, to this day, we're lifting the lid. It's a hidden cameo. One of the only Hidden cameos In the history of Hollywood The third note
Starting point is 00:21:07 I've written on my hand Appears to be the word Runaling Which last time I checked Isn't a word R-U-N-A-L-I-N-G What do you think
Starting point is 00:21:18 I was trying to Communicate to myself Runalina That's impossible To say mate I would like to talk About the fact that Mr. Big is colorblind. Well, then please, take us away.
Starting point is 00:21:31 So, Mr. Big, one of his great character traits is that he likes to watch black and white movies. Which is such a vague thing, right? Yeah, it's... He's like, I love black and white movies. That's a lot of movies. You gotta immediately go, why? You gotta ask the question. On the whole, not very good.
Starting point is 00:21:53 You gotta dig in there. That was before we'd really mastered how to do movies. Yeah, exactly. A lot of those don't have audio. You're a fan of audio, Mr. Big? Yeah. He likes the movies, not the talkies But then later on, caught watching Deadliest Catch
Starting point is 00:22:07 Yeah So then my theory is that Yeah, he's colorblind He can't tell if a movie's black and white He just says everything's black and white Sometimes he's right Well, Nick, I hate to throw salt in your game But maybe he likes more than one thing
Starting point is 00:22:23 You know, maybe he likes black and white movies and diddly sketch no I think he's just he likes anything where he knows it's a black and white movie because there's a certain style he can get from watching
Starting point is 00:22:34 an old black and white movie this is a colour blind person colour movies confuse him yeah they make him they haven't catered for the for the colour blind audience whereas black and white movies you can't tell who's the sun,
Starting point is 00:22:45 who's the sky. Now, this would explain how he's lost so much money on the stock market because when stocks go up, they go green,
Starting point is 00:22:53 and when stocks go down, they go red. Yes. But if he was colorblind, then he's just seeing numbers
Starting point is 00:22:58 moving in a direction. And he's just throwing money in every which direction. He's got to pick a punt.
Starting point is 00:23:04 So, like, he is buying up stocks that have risen dramatically, and he's just throwing money in every which direction. He's got to pick a punt. So he's buying up stocks that have risen dramatically, and he's selling stocks that have fallen spectacularly. Yeah, he also has no internal compass. He constantly thinks he's upside down. He sees the arrows on the stock market, and those make no sense to him at all.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Right. And nor do numbers. So he is a dyslexic devoid of any internal direction numbers to him are just kind of bouncing shapes
Starting point is 00:23:32 he has no perception of colour he is an early prototype of a trading android the US government made about 50 prototypes
Starting point is 00:23:43 for stock market traded. They forgot not to program them to love. They forgot to program this one to love. He shows literally no affection to his wife. So let me just show you. Much affection as a prototype stock market Android computer. Let me take a bit of stock here.
Starting point is 00:24:02 A colorblind stock market. We're saying that my man JJ Big Is a government fuckbot Am I on board so far? No no he's a stockbot He's a stockbot He's not a fuckbot
Starting point is 00:24:14 Who happens to be Naturally gifted at fucking He's a stockbot With a heart He's the only one of the assembly line That they forgot to turn The emotive programming off I see this is very Johnny Fiber
Starting point is 00:24:26 Even at his full emotion He is He doesn't register on the human scale Like he still seems like a robot to us Which is why it's weird That he gifts his wife A ring after she cheats on him Just guessing.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Now, gentlemen, there's a... Can I just say before we... Just throw it in there. Don't ask for my permission. Just get in there and get dirty. I desperately want your permission. You guys, this movie is destroying you, and it's only been 16 goes, but about halfway through,
Starting point is 00:25:04 you guys, for the listeners tim we watched about this movie is so long and i really like i feel i've listened i listened to the podcast and i feel like it's very hard to communicate how long this movie is it feels like it will never end and at about an hour and a half tim had fallen up, toppled over like some sort of skyscraper. And Guy was trying to play my guitar without ever having played a guitar in his life. So just like compulsion. He even had one lesson. Made him pick up a guitar and try to sing an Everclear song.
Starting point is 00:25:41 So like this movie is destroying these, and I really feel for them. But, hey, as we said positively at one point, only 10 more views until you're halfway. Yeah. Well, God, isn't that a milestone that we're knocking on the door of? Isn't the light in the tunnel devastatingly tricksy and deceptive? Here's something I'd like to There's a poorly lit tunnel
Starting point is 00:26:07 Inject it It's a bit dark in the tunnel What's the point of the tunnel There's like fish That make their own Bioluminescence And they look like The end of the tunnel
Starting point is 00:26:14 Those are the depths But they're not The end of the tunnel They're air breathing Bioluminescent fish Now The first question is We like to
Starting point is 00:26:24 This is not the first question We like to is We like to This is not the first question We like to say We like to ask We like to explore What was your favourite bit of the movie? We call this the shining light Speaking of bioluminescence I remember I laughed
Starting point is 00:26:38 Okay So maybe Guy Maybe Guy and I will kick off And you guys can think about A part of the movie that you enjoyed No way I'd like these guys to go first can think about a part of the movie that you enjoy. No, I'd like these guys to go first. They get the whole spectrum of the movie to choose from.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Really throwing our guests under the bus? I like where you're coming from, Guy. I like it. Do they get to choose from any moment in the movie? Joseph Moore, would you like to start? Yeah, okay. Even though it ultimately resulted in one of the low points of the movie, I just like the concept of a karaoke bar with backup dancers i think as a karaoke patron wouldn't it be fun to have backup dancers while you perform karaoke waiting your
Starting point is 00:27:12 jaw-dropping performance yeah so and i they go to a place where this exists um solely i think so that there's a feasible reason for the girls to have backup dancers when they do a um frankly embarrassing performance of I Am Woman. But up until then, they've kind of created this business. I'm like, yeah. And so there was a moment where I go, I'd like to go to that place. Although I did notice. That was the one second in which I was happy.
Starting point is 00:27:38 The one second in which it triggered your brain to think, I wish more karaoke bars had backup dancers. That is your joyous takeaway from Simpsons City 2. That's the moment I felt most at peace. The guy who we opened on, who I thought for a long time was singing a Boston song, turns out he wasn't. He doesn't have any backup dancers, though. Yeah, he does.
Starting point is 00:28:00 They're above him. Oh, shit. Then I take it all back. It's so unconventional, because they're not backing up In the traditional sense Nick Samson Does anything come to mind when I say to you
Starting point is 00:28:10 Shining light favourite bit of the movie Gobble up that mic I feel like my favourite bit of the movie Was When Carrie called Big To tell him that she kissed What's his face? Aiden Aiden apologies Carrie called Big to tell him that she'd kissed...
Starting point is 00:28:25 What's his face? Aiden. Aiden. Apologies. Don't apologize. I'm apologizing. I'm desperate to apologize to you. Let me apologize.
Starting point is 00:28:36 It's not privilege. What's the word? Permission. Permission and forgiveness. Keep going, Nick Sampson. Keep going. Dig deeper. I want permission and forgiveness.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Carrie has rung up Our favourite Fuckbot from the government I always ask for forgiveness And always ask for permission Was when she rang Except Mr Big And tells him
Starting point is 00:28:55 That she's kissed him And we're back in New York Briefly And because it took So long to get to New York It took about an hour And then I was so excited To go to Abu Dhabi As soon as we got there I an hour and then i was so excited to go to abu dhabi as
Starting point is 00:29:05 soon as we got there i realized i was like no no we we have to go back it was a mistake to go here so just that brief glimpse of like the cityscape maybe abu dhabi no of new york oh during the phone call when we flashed back to him sad in his last hour. Cut to JJ Big the United States military's greatest fuckbot. Staring sadly out of Skyscraper. I just felt like
Starting point is 00:29:30 oh man this was this was a huge mistake ever leaving the comfort of New York. So getting a flash of Big
Starting point is 00:29:39 in his big soulless office was your shining light of the movie. God damn it that is bleak. Okay well I'll tell you mine. My shining light of the movie god damn it that is bleak okay well i'll tell you mine um my shining light of the movie this time and i think i've actually enjoyed him
Starting point is 00:29:49 a lot of times but i've never remembered enough to bring it up is miranda's misogynist boss tom he's amazing i love him he shuts her down so like succinctly with he doesn't even say words he just throws a hand out, he's like talk to the hand, boom, chucks it out they're in the meeting Tom is a legend what got you about Tom this week? he's just so authoritative and really instills himself as
Starting point is 00:30:17 the voice you want to listen to in the room seems like he's got a lot of good ideas and that's how he got to be partner at that firm you know what I mean? he's a man who you trust. He's a man who you go to with problems, and he gets them fucking solved. He's the kind of guy who, like, if I accidentally killed a stripper, I'd be like, Tom, bro, some shit has happened in Las Vegas. Very particular kind of guy.
Starting point is 00:30:41 No, no, no. But I'm just saying, if it was a bad problem, Tom could solve it. He's not the kind of guy who'd freak out and be like oh i've got to call the police now because i'm obligated because you've committed a crime and murdered someone he'd be like we're going to get ourselves some acid i know a chemistry high school teacher we're going hydrochloric on it we're going to dissolve the body and no one will ever know that this has happened he is a problem solver and he's painted as a villain in this movie i don't appreciate it but in the brief moments we have with him in the movie i enjoy him
Starting point is 00:31:10 i genuinely think this movie is making you lose your mind you always say that you're thinking dangerous thoughts no i'm just i'm just saying i'm not saying i'm killing a hooker i'm just saying if i did I'd want to go to Tom It'd be like Mike Tyson way of Framing things We don't need to bring real people Into the scenario What's his name?
Starting point is 00:31:30 Another guy Damn it I fucked that up Are you talking about old The guy who made a pecky out for it? Sorry? No I'm talking about The murderer NFL player
Starting point is 00:31:41 OJ Simpson? Yeah yeah that's cool Sure doesn't sound like it I don't think Mike Tyson is going to take Kylie to you mixing him up well the hilarity is
Starting point is 00:31:49 you tried to slam me and you've actually revered yourself for being a massive racist who can't distinguish between black people so shame on you Joseph Moore
Starting point is 00:31:57 let me say that name again I could have just hit by him Joseph Moore I'm just trying to be the truest me I can be god that's a terrible defense guys pick up the ball and let's roll in with a shining light from you I'm just trying to be the truest me I can be God, that's a terrible defense
Starting point is 00:32:05 Guys, pick up the ball And let's roll in with a shining light from you I just want people to accept me For all of my character flaws Including my rampant racism That's what I hear too No That's what I hear coming through
Starting point is 00:32:18 What a career blow this podcast Has turned out to be Had it and quit it What's going on to yourself even if society what a career blow this podcast has turned out to be head it and quit it guy montgomery what's going on my shining light and sex in the city too you've got nothing look at those cold dead eyes most trend with whiskey most transparent witness who starts answering the question by re-saying the question in a different order. Sex in the City 2. Jesus Christ, you are burning daylight on us, Montgomery. All right, while you think of that, Joseph Moore, I'm going to throw it back to you.
Starting point is 00:32:55 You're running a very efficient, insane conversation here. There was a man in this film named Coffee Guy. We know Coffee Guy. We love Coffee Guy. in this film named Coffee Guy. Oh, yeah. We know Coffee Guy. I saw him. We love Coffee Guy. We're familiar with Coffee Guy. The question is... ... ... ...
Starting point is 00:33:14 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Starting point is 00:33:14 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Starting point is 00:33:14 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Starting point is 00:33:14 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Starting point is 00:33:15 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Starting point is 00:33:15 ... ... ... ... ... ... doing? What's he up to? Where's he up to?
Starting point is 00:33:25 Where's he going? Where's he up to? That's the question. What's this dude? What's he all about? Where's he off to? What's he doing? That's gotta be over to the floor. Can't just put that on Joseph. Sorry. Joseph Moore, Nick Sampson.
Starting point is 00:33:40 What's he doing? Where's he off to? Well, I felt like after this, by the way, you guys built this guy up a lot and he did not disappoint. Excellent. He drank a lot of coffee in a very short amount of time, as promised, and then he left very quickly.
Starting point is 00:33:59 And I could help but notice that a waiter came in very shortly after he leaves, clears his plate immediately. And I'm wondering, did this waiter take the coffee cup back into the kitchen and then go, oh, no. This coffee was not meant for this man. This was a prototype coffee. Oh, my God. Not yet ready for store consumption He has drunken this coffee
Starting point is 00:34:27 What is the effect of this? I must find this man He goes home He passes out He wakes up He looks in the mirror His arms seem stronger He takes off his top
Starting point is 00:34:38 Is that Yeah that's weird Abs is just a regular old coffee drinker Yeah regular coffee drinker Hold on He's suddenly got all this energy. He can't sleep. He never sleeps again.
Starting point is 00:34:48 He is coffee guy. He's got the energy of a guy who's drunk three coffees, but all the time. That's right. He doesn't need another coffee. But if you give it to him, it'll be like he's had four coffees. He spurts steamed milk out of his wrists. Yeah. He's got sugar.
Starting point is 00:35:12 He's got it. Little packets of sugar in his pockets. In his butt. In his butt pockets. He's got sugar in his butt pockets and he's spurting steam out of his wrists. What do you make of that? Do you love it? He's running.
Starting point is 00:35:23 You've got to have it. Suddenly there's a new hero in town. Oh, people are mugging people. Oh, Coffee Man's coming along. Being a bit pushy about it. Because it's a mug. Coffee. Great joke.
Starting point is 00:35:39 A mug is mugging someone. Yeah. That is brilliant. And here's the crazy thing. It turns out that it's a Harry Potter mashup universe where muggles are mugging someone. Yeah. That is brilliant. And here's the crazy thing. It turns out that it's a Harry Potter mashup universe where muggles are mugging mugs. And only one man can save them all. It's Coffee Guy. He's on the scene.
Starting point is 00:35:54 He's steaming mad at crime. He's off there with his wrists spurting hot milk into people's eyes. Which is actually, when you think about it, pretty fucking hardcore. It seems like a pretty low level superpower until you analyze the fact that he's got someone in a goddamn head lock and he is spurting something that is above 100 degrees into their goddamn eyeballs they're just gonna burn them irrevocably yeah they've got no flesh right off their face which is how mr big became black and white sighted. That's what the colorblind people are calling themselves. And credits.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Credits roll. Credits roll. Credits roll. Everyone's leaving. Not us. We know to stay in the cinema. That's right. After the credits of Coffee Guy, it's a little sneak preview of the next big character.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Walk me through it. We open on a big table. A table covered in cakes. That's right. The gals have ordered too many cakes again for breakfast. There's pastries. There's muffins. There's every sort of continental breakfast you could want.
Starting point is 00:36:57 They don't eat them. They leave. What happens? Of course, you know what happens. All the cakes merge together to form a humanoid continental man. Continental man. Boom, coming soon. It's not coming out for a whole year, but it's going to exist in the same universe.
Starting point is 00:37:13 They buried the teaser trailer at the end of Coffee Man. Yeah, for Continental. Is that Indiana Jones? No, it's the A-Team theme. What's Indiana Jones? Actually, the A-Team provided a character for the next spin-off, Mr. T.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Fantastic. Hey, look, Montgomery, I feel like Mr. T, Mr. Coffee Man and Continental Man are all going to
Starting point is 00:37:34 form up together. That's what we call the worst idea of all time fuck-what universe chapter one. It's going to be the new breakfast menu
Starting point is 00:37:41 at IHOP. Now, Guy, I feel like we've bought you plenty of time to think of a shining light. So let's hit it straight off the bat. You've brought me into an immersive experience. Do you know what?
Starting point is 00:37:55 Some people accused me of throwing you under the bus. I saw the bus come and grabbed you by the goddamn collar, moved you out of the way, put something else in its way, and put you back in the right path, and you and you're still complaining you're driving the bus and it just feels like the bus is chasing me i most i resent the accusation and i want you to get on with your goddamn duties as someone who watches sex in the city 2 every week and provide a goddamn shining light as if you didn't see it coming as if you don't know this happens every week just put it out there and my you're failing you are like an angry person had a lot of whiskey uh it's the in my professional opinion as an esteemed reviewer of season 32 which i do on a weekly basis yes and it is a process i enjoy what i most enjoy when i share a nightmare you're a bloody
Starting point is 00:38:49 nightmare is the slacker and efficiency with which i do it oh man i i don't i are you outraged nick samson yeah i want you to yeah i'm fucking outraged just get to the fucking point man do you guys have shining lights yeah we talked at length about them, and they were great. They were ones for the books. That's what I'm talking about. You're a crazy bus driver. Don't you put this on me. What's your shining light? My shining light.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Fucking hell. It just all blurs into a horrible memory. You're such a piece of shit, Montgomery. You really are. It's just one long ongoing disappointment My shining light is That Mr Big's coffee cup is never full There's never coffee in the cup
Starting point is 00:39:31 You enjoyed that It's all an illusion It's insane Something they got wrong in the movie is your shining light No My shining light is that Mr Yeah I guess I just like Mr Big and his coffee cup
Starting point is 00:39:43 Coffee cup props Do you know what I like? You like me. Nope. The opposite. What do I mean to do with that? We can go. Who are you?
Starting point is 00:39:54 What a negative note to wrap up on. We need these guys to pitch the movie to us. Oh, God. That's got to be quick. All right. You guys have got to pitch.
Starting point is 00:40:03 So Guy Montgomery and I are movie executives. We greenlight projects. We get shit done and funded. You two have walked into our office to pitch us this movie and so we can fund it. Gentlemen and gentlemen, hand over your pitch. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:19 I was just walking... First of all, hi. Nice to meet you. Hi. Well, I've got time for this. Very bad start. We've met before. We worked on a project last summer. Yeah, my name's Tim. Yeah, Joseph. I don't know a lot of all, hi. Nice to meet you. Hi. Well, I haven't got time for this. Very bad start. We've met before. We worked on a project last summer.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Yeah, my name's Tim. Yeah, Joseph. I don't know a lot of people, so I'm very important. Okay. So is Guy Montgomery. Well, hi, Tim and Guy. My name's Nick, and you're no Joseph. Yeah, from last year.
Starting point is 00:40:38 From last summer, we worked on a project. Fuck this up. Fuck this up. All right. Don't go back to New Zealand. What? Never go back. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Jesus Christ. So I was just walking here, and I passed a store with a bunch of televisions in the window, and on the televisions was a show about some women. You thought of this pitch on the way here to the meeting. I like it. In the amount of time it took me to walk the entire length of the TV store, I got the gist of the show.
Starting point is 00:41:09 And while I was walking, I also passed. The next shop was actually a travel agency, which had a picture of the Middle East. And so, I don't know. And then we passed a candy store selling Reese's Pieces. And then I hit my head pretty hard. Very important executives. You don't need And then I passed We passed a candy store Selling Reese's Pieces Yeah And then I hit my head Pretty hard Very important executives
Starting point is 00:41:27 And you were telling us You don't need to know all this You don't need to know I'm running out of time This is probably I'm undermining my pitch If anything Picture this
Starting point is 00:41:34 Picture this The drums and pianos combine It's Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind Where are we? We're in New York But not New York Not for long
Starting point is 00:41:44 Not New York But for a while. But then we get on a plane. Okay. But after a while. Yes. We're not there for... So then we go to Abu Dhabi.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Oh, bold move. Also hard to follow. Yeah. Okay. By the way, don't worry about that. Don't worry. We're not going to be respectful.
Starting point is 00:42:00 You've got Joseph Moore on the project. No one for his racism. That does make me feel confident by getting that racist dollar i always thought joseph moore was known for his very even-handed liberal defense of everyone normally sometimes he confuses controversial athletes anyway um so i've got women i've television. Can I do my own pitch? I don't necessarily want to be associated with him if he's going to be racist. As a Jew, I'm very confused by the pitch.
Starting point is 00:42:32 No, you're going to need this racism in the film. The film won't work if they don't make just offhanded comments about women and minorities. My place has New York and Abu Dhabi. It's got two settings, and we spend as much time in one as we do in the other, which is an indeterminable, never-ending amount of time. Here's what I'm going to do.
Starting point is 00:42:55 I like elements of what you both have said. I need this, man. I'm throwing you together as a directing team. I'm giving you no money but I will give you a production company I've been in LA I've been in LA three years man

Starting point is 00:43:32 for your personal problems I do not care for either of your ideas I appreciate that I appreciate that my esteemed colleague and friend
Starting point is 00:43:40 has greenlit this project okay so I would just like you to know I will do anything I can To make this As difficult as possible I look forward to
